The Jelly x Tori babies are living amazing lives in their homes and I’m so happy for them!
Extra special shout out to Mr Koneko, the first pictured, as he is the first to have a title pending with AKC of the litter! 🥰 I’m so proud of this team and look forward to seeing the many venues they will succeed in!

Obi(formerly Twix) is heading off for a new adventure to Canada with her new family! Obi is the last of the Sweets litter to leave as Miss Kitty is staying. So bittersweet as I loved raising this litter so much 🥰 go do amazing things sweet baby!!

I wanted to recap the amazing year the RebelGold Finnish Lapphunds have had 🥰

Going to our first Westminster with Jelly and I dancing our way to Best of Opposite in a sea of excellent quality lapphunds.
Jelly’s wonderful OFA results coming back good, normal, and excellent ⭐️
Jelly finishing her Grand championship exclusively owner handled by myself!
Natty earned herself some titles at the end of her name including CGC and TKI.
We bred jelly in July, which could not have been done if it wasn’t for our amazing friend and mentor, Jackie at Midnight Island Finnish Lapphunds for not only hosting Jelly but also Tori to make sure everything went off without a hitch.
Jelly earned her CGCA and TKN to the end of her name!
Our first litter born in the wee hours on September 14th. 3 stunning boys and 3 beautiful girls.
I picked my first bred by show prospect! Welcome Kitty to the RebelGold crew!

So many thank yous to be given as I definitely did not do all of that on my own! Thank you to Jackie, Jess and Justin(Wyntre Finnish Lapphunds) and Linda(Sugarok Finnish Lapphunds) for being the most amazing breeders to my girls and being incredibly patient with me. Thank you to Jackie for your unwavering mentorship and friendship and just always being willing to answer my questions and concerns. All your hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated by me I promise. Your trust in me to own our girls means the world. Thank you to the New England Lapphund community for welcoming me and my girls and being our cheerleaders and helping with baby A when needed! The support has made all my dreams this year possible.
I think 2023 was pretty great for the dogs but I have a hunch that 2024 will be pretty amazing too! ✨

Everyone has their own set of tools in their toolbox when it comes to grooming. These are just some of my favorites especially for in between baths when the lappies aren’t being absolute mud goblins.
Otherwise we do full bath and brush/blow outs especially when they are blowing their coats.

Solo adventures for Obi! It would be “easy” to always take the last 2 puppies everywhere together but they really need to learn the world solo! Obi will be leaving in a few weeks to be in a solo dog household so she’ll have to get used to it. As expected she took it extremely well with multiple stops as she tagged along for morning errands and then a quick stop to the dock to sniff the high tide smells. I’m so proud of my jelly babies for taking the world by storm and not missing a beat!

And Haribo is off to go be the bestest buddy to his new owner in MA! I’ll miss him but so I’m incredibly excited to follow his adventures!

Today we are thankful for the food we eat and the dogs who love us conditionally.

Many thanks to my mentor and friend Jackie at Midnight Island Finnish Lapphunds for co breeding this litter with me and thank you to Linda from Sugarok Finnish Lapphunds for allowing us to bring Tori to Jelly. These puppies have been such a joy to raise!

Managing expectations for new puppies! A little over half of the Sweets is already in their homes and soon they will all be in their places, so let’s talk basics!
Having the right mindset when they come home also helps manage your stress. If you have the expectation that your puppy will never have an accident then you are setting up yourself and your puppy for failure. Instead to set yourself and your puppy for success, the goal should be to learn your puppy’s cues and then clean up any accidents with zero fuss when they happen. Puppies are constantly learning and are  going through a tremendous amount of change in a short period of time.

When I discovered the breed it was thanks to many online resources. So my eye was starting to develop based on pictures and then over time in person. I’m always learning! When I am judging my own dogs I often use this resource as a reference since I value the visual of excellent type as sometimes just reading the AKC standard doesn’t create the same image in my own head.

The 3 remaining puppies got to tag along to a rabbit club meeting for some crazy zoomies(this is why they are all but a blur 😝) and of course some cuddles. Meeting new people, new floors, new smells, etc are all apart of a well socialized puppy within safe guidelines.

2 more have flown the coop! Literally!
Tootsie, now Lychee, is heading to PA to go be a playmate to a mini aussie and to teach them the Finnish lapphund ways!

Rolo, now Koneko, is heading to NC to play show dog with his new human and Terv fur-sibling! I’m so excited to watch him mature.

Go do great things babies! ✈️

The Sweets litter is 7 weeks!! (Posting late, but photos were almost on time 😝)

They have had a busy week and are really blossoming into wonderful puppies ❤️lots of travel, playing on new surfaces, being crated in different style crates, meeting new people, vet visit, commercial shoot, more bath time and an introduction to the dog dryer, on top of all the other fun stuff they do everyday!
Most of this litter still has a month left with me as I prepare them the best I can to be able to take the world by storm in their new homes ❤️

11/05/2023

I’m behind on posting photos but this litter has been BUSY! Today they had a shoot for a commercial! What perfect little models! 🤩They all were cool calm and collected🎬

We strong prefer for many reasons that our lovely pet homes wait until 24 months to alter. It’s a small sacrifice that could have huge pay offs.

"The results suggested that … g***d retention during the first 24 months of life—are strongly associated with lifelong avoidance of bilateral CCL rupture…Risk for CCL rupture was not influenced when g***d removal took place after the 24-month developmental period."

CCL injuries are one of the most common causes of pain and arthritis in dogs. Today at 12pm ET we're discussing how to prevent injury and available CCL treatment options.

The sweets litter is officially 6 weeks today but it’s been a very trying time in my “small town” state of Maine. We are safe but my mind has been distracted with updates and attempting to keep things as normal for my kids as possible. Including a small walk with Natty. Official puppy photos hopefully can happen tomorrow. Please send healing thoughts or pray if that’s your thing to the communities affected.

Ooo I’m so excited! I’m piecing together puppy packs and to have this order arrive makes me giddy 🧡💙
HUGE Thank you to my friend Mandi at No-Z Dog Designs for these! She’s just assisting in my biothane addiction🐾
